Product name:Human 17-Hydroxyprogesterone ELISA Kit
Description:
17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH progesterone or 17OHP) is a C-21 steroid hormone produced during the synthesis of glucocorticoids and sex steroids. As a hormone, 17OHP also interacts with the progesterone receptor.
17-Hydroxyprogesterone is not the same compound as 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate. 17-Hydroxyprogesterone caproate is a synthetic (artificial) hormone that is similar in structure to medroxyprogesterone acetate and megestrol acetate. The terminology is confusing because 17P is used to refer to both the natural hormone and the artificial/synthetic hormone. It is preferable to refer to the synthetic hormone as 17-OHPC.
